Star Wars Your Life With Boswells

When Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope first hit the screens in 1977 it was one of a handful of milestone films that redefined what a Hollywood blockbuster was, and what it could be. Its director, George Lucas, was little known with very limited success already under his directorial belt, but his fresh take on the Sci-Fi film shot to the top of the global box office and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1978. To date it is still the the 7th highest grossing film of all time in the American box office. And here we are, 38 years on, once again eagerly awaiting the release of the latest Star Wars instalment, J.J. Abrams’s Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. But your excitement needn’t be reserved exclusively for the film itself, there’s plenty of great memorabilia available to help you to fill your life as full of Star Wars as you like!

Toys and Models

As far as toy releases for the new film goes though, we couldn’t be more excited about the new range of Star Wars LEGO®. From some of the smaller, simpler builds like Rey’s Speeder to the complex but very cool LEGO Millennium Falcon, or the newly released character builds, there’s a lot here to keep you busy over the holiday season—not to mention they’re pretty great as gift ideas.

If models are your thing though, don’t worry, Disney haven’t forgotten about you, and neither have we. Big or small, we have an array of models for you to choose from and build. Revell have produced model kits of some iconic Star Wars spaceships, such as the Millennium Falcon, which have sound and light parts. The models all snap together, so they’re suitable for children and adults alike. For those up for a different kind of modelling challenge, you might like to try one of the Metal Earth 3D models, like the AT-AT Walker.

It’s hard to go far wrong with any edition of Monopoly, it’s true, but we think the Star Wars edition is really quite special. Not only can you choose to play as one of a selection of characters, you can also play for the Rebel or the Empire side, the ultimate goal being to conquer and dominate the universe for either good or evil—no pressure! We also have Star Wars Risk, and a brand new Star Wars X-Wing game, amongst others, that you can find online and in store in our Toy and our Gift departments.

And if, after all of these suggestions, you still feel the need for more Star Wars in your life, you could always consider going to see Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, which is released in cinemas for your viewing pleasure on the 17th of December 2015. We suggest booking in advance, its only, y'know, the biggest film release of the year! See you there!
